Every once in a while, I discover a designer I just flip for, which was the case with Sandy Hyun's art-deco-meets-modern-chic pieces...and now, I'm sharing my favorites in my latest collection for OpenSky. Get to know Sandy and check out the goods (all under $100!), after the jump.

She grew up in Illinois, digging around in her mom's jewelry box for early inspiration--"When I was little she would always letting me play with the pieces while she was getting ready for parties," Sandy tells us--and she started making her own at age 12. "I am self taught," she says, "but have taken numerous metalsmithing classes. I'm also always taking classes like woodworking, upholstery, welding. I love to incorporate different ways of putting things together into my work."

Her serious commitment to quality materials and unique craftsmanship make her stuff worth investing in, and the vintage-inspired aesthetic will make you feel like each piece is something you discovered at a cool flea market. In other words, they're the perfect accessories to turn jeans and a T-shirt into a wow outfit. Sandy describes her customer as "an individual that likes to seek out something different and more special than what everyone else is wearing." Sound like you?
